Trendology: Proenza Schouler Large Chieko Bag

While I am still digesting the Proenza Schouler F/W collection, there is one accessory from the show that has caught my attention.

This clutch is made of deer fur and navy nylon. I really like the white spots on the deer fur and it has made this simple design to look elegant and modern. As of this moment, you can pre order it and wait for it to your doorstep by mid October.

Walk the Walk: Vera Wang F/W 2012 Collection

For this season, Vera Wang has divided her collection into 4 colours section: camel, red, black and blue. Sheer material is used throughout the collection and I am in love with the diamond shape pattern. Also, the digital print has made the collection to be edgy and modern. As for the silhouette, Wang tries to keep everything in proportion except the outerwear. The outerwear is making the Vera Wang lady looks bold and confident. If you consider yourself a very edgy person, I would recommend you to take a few digital print tops and use some effort to style them with appropriate pants and accessories.

Pros:
- The digital print is very edgy, and the big cross design on the chest area is unique.
- Even though this is a F/W collection, I like how daring Vera is by using sheer materials on the pieces.
- Love the bright red colour on some of the pieces, very refreshing, loud and bold.
- The diamond shape pattern is very nice and the last 2 blue gowns with crystals on this pattern are very elegant and modern.

Cons:
- A few pieces have too much ruffles, hard to make the ladies look beautiful. (Still can, but you really need some serious stylings)

Eye Candies: 
- Blue gown with diamond pattern in crystals
- Black leather diamond pattern sleeveless dress
-  Red sheer blouse

Walk the Walk: Marc Jacobs F/W 2012 Collection

Marc Jacobs is brining us to a magical journey this season, or should I say, he is brining us to his own version of fairy tale?

Even though Marc Jacobs is a minimalist, this collection actually has some dramatic elements. First, the use of the "glitter" materials is creating noise, so are the paisley and floral prints. I can see the hour glass silhouette here as the hip area really stands out. The oversized hats and pilgrim shoes make the collection very cartoonish and this might be the reason why I feel like I am in Marc's fairy tale world. Overall, a very interesting collection and I am looking forward to see how the stylists will translate this collection in the up coming editorials.

Pros:
- I really like the fairy tale theme. The whole show reminds me of a little Wizard of the Oz and some Disney animations.
- The pilgrim shoes and the hats are the major highlights of this collection.
- The texture and the prints on the coats are beautiful.
- I really like the "shinny" pieces.
- The oversized knit scarves are great!

Cons:
- The bags are not too special.

Eye Candies:
- Pilgrim shoes
- The big "witch" hats
- Metallic pink dress
- White wool coat with embellishment
- Blue scarf blouse
